Ascites is a disease in which the fluid accumulates in the abdominal cavity. Many people confuse it with the emergence of a beer belly, so they don’t go to the doctor and when they do, the treatment becomes more difficult.

Ascites can develop in 3 stages.

Light ascites – can be seen only by ultrasound and by computed tomography (CT);

Average ascites – swelling of the abdomen is noticeable mostly when lying down.

Strong ascites – the belly is so swollen that it’s clearly visible to the naked eye. There is also a feeling of liquid inside.
